Goodbye Again (1961) Ingrid Bergman, Anthony Perkins & Yves Montand

Gabby.

Oh, Gabby. I'm late.

- Has monsieur called?
- No, madame.

I couldn't find a taxi with the traffic.
Is the dress ready?

Be an angel and draw me a bath.

Not too hot. Oh, no. My zip...

It never works when... It's all right.

Oh, Gabby, where did you put my...

Oh, never mind. I found it.

I think I'll wear my mink jacket tonight.

Gabby, did you fix the belt to the dress?

- Oui madame.
- Not oui madame, yes, ma'am.

- You're learning to speak English.
- Oui, madame. Yes, ma'am.

Would you answer it, Gabby?

Say, I just left.
I just walked out the door.

Hello. Yes, I mean, oui monsieur

All right, I'll take it.

Watch the water, Gabby.
Roger, darling.

Oh, I'm sorry, but I'm going to be late.

Well, really, the traffic in Paris
this time of day is something...

You what? You can't? Oh, no, Roger,
not again. I know it's business,

but it's just that tonight
is a very special night.

It's our fifth anniversary. Of what?

Of the night we met.

No, no, I understand.

Yes, tomorrow will be all right.

Good night, darling.
Good night.

It's very useful for a man this business.

Yes, very useful.

I would give him an ultimatum.

What kind of an ultimatum?

We are going to get married or out?

No, Gabby. I've told you
we don't want to get married.

He doesn't want to.

We were both married before.

You know that.
We both learned the same thing.

People should be together
because they want to be,

not because they have to be.

- Freedom is such a precious thing.
- For him, not for you.

- Oh, Gabby.
- He goes out with other girls.

Yes, he does.

- You don't go out with other men.
- I don't want to.

Some freedom.

You worry too much about me, Gabby.

My mom says it doesn't matter
when you are young,

but when you are old,
you want to be married.

Oh, Gabby, am I that old?

No, but you are too much alone.

Sorry about last night.

- This has been a terrible week.
- Yes, I know, Roger.

I'm still trying to close
a deal in Denmark,

but one in Holland fell through

and I have no shipments from America
because of the strike.

- It's not very gay all that.
- No.

Shall we give it up, Paula?

I could live quietly in the country
in the small house by river.

You wouldn't know
what to do with yourself.

You couldn't live without
your trucks and your tractors

and the life of your city,
your long Paris nights.

But you've taken
to driving very fast lately.

I know. What's that a sign of?

- Trying to stay young.
- Oh, you'll never be old.

Je t'adore.

Whatever I say, you understand.

Whatever I ask, you can answer.

- Oh, I am remarkable.
- You are.

I wonder how many times I've done this.

Leaned forward to turn on the radio
as you drove me home from dinner.

Paula.

Well, am I very selfish? I mean, with you.

No. It's true I feel alone sometimes.
Not quite so young. And I miss you.

But I know how much
your your business means to you.

- Do you know how much you mean to me?
- I think so.

Oh, I forgot.
I had lunch with Jack Vanette today.

He has a friend who needs a decorator.

A rich American woman
with a new apartment.

Here's the name and address.

You're supposed to see her
tomorrow morning.

Oh, thank you.

Sounds like there may be some money in it.

I could use it.

Well, good night. I'll let you sleep.

Well, what happened?
We were looking for you.

Good morning, Suzanne.

Would you like to take a walk?
Then I'd like to take a walk.

- Morning.
- Oh, good morning.

I'm Philip Van der Besh.

- Have you come to see my mother?
- Yes.

- Won't you sit down?
- I hope I'm not too early.

Oh, no. No. Mother's up, I'm sure.

Is it about doing the apartment?

- Yes.
- Well, it could stand a bit of doing.

Well, I did wonder where you sit
when you're more than three.

Oh, well, I wouldn't know about that.

I work all day, and when I come home,
I go straight to bed.

Oh, you must work very hard.

Yes, I do. I do. I'm a lawyer.
Never get to bed before midnight.

Up and out of the break of dawn.

- It's almost 11 now.
- Yes. Well, yes.

Well, it's uh unusual.

I may as well tell you
my most important client

went to the guillotine this morning.

The guillotine? Good heavens! Is he dead?

No. Actually, I don't do much work.

Not enough really.

- Would you like a cigarette?
- Yes, thank you.

Where did... Oh, thank you.
Is it still raining?

No, it's not still raining.

Well, there really isn't
anything else to say, is there?

I don't know you.

If I did, I'd tell you how happy
I was to see you again.

- Why?
- I don't know. I just would.

Suzanne, has Mr. Phillip gone?

Quick, there's another.
When were you born?

What day? What month?

- Phillip.
- Yes, mother.

Oh, there you are.

I do think you might get out
of the house before 11 once in a while.

Uh, yes, ma. I was just gone.

I can't see why monsieur Fleury
puts up with you?

Oh, that's easy.
You're his richest client. Goodbye.

I do hope I'll see you again.
Good luck.

I'm sorry. Did you want to see me?

Mr. Bunnell asked me to stop in
and see you this morning.

Jack Bunell,
he said he'd spoken to you about...

Oh, yes, yes.
About the apartment.

You're the decorator.

Well, he said some
very nice things about you.

Now, before we begin,

there's one thing I want you
to understand very clearly.

If there's one thing I can't stand,

it's people who try
to take advantage...

Suzanne.

You have to tell them
everything a dozen times.

Don't misunderstand me, my dear.

I want the apartment to look well,
but there are ways of doing it, aren't there?

- I had a young man....
- Madame?

What?

What? Oh, oh, yes.

I've told you not to leave
the windows open.

Well, kindly remember.

She won't, you know

They say servants are cheaper over here
but they strain on the nerves.

Now what was I saying?

- You had a young man.
- Young man. Oh yes, of course.

The decorator. Well, he didn't last long.

I've met robbers in my time.

Oh, do sit down, my dear.

But for sheer thievery,
he was...

- When were you born, dear?
- Oh, I beg you pardon.

When were you born?
Oh, you don't have to tell me the year.

I wouldn't dream of asking you that.

- But the month?
- June.

- Oh, what part of June?
- The 13th.

Oh, Gemini.

Oh, how interesting. I don't suppose
you remember the time of day.

- No, no, I'm afraid.
- Oh, that's too bad.

Well now, shall we do
the downstairs in Louis XV?

It'll cost quite a bit more.

And if you want to keep
the pieces you already have...

I most certainly do.

Come along. I'll show you around.

You know, these things have been
eating their heads off in storage.

It's about what time
they paid for their keep.

But my son is studying
international law, you see,

and we travel a lot, but now
we have to stay in Paris for a while.

Oh, did you meet Phillip?
Oh, you must meet him.

He's quite charming
and really quite right.

The trouble is I haven't the faintest idea

what goes on in this mind.

Oh, this is the dining room.

- I am sorry about his arm.
- Arm? What arm?

The one that goes like this.

Really? I hadn't noticed it.
I must have a look.

Oh, about the dining room.
Now, I thought over here...

Taxi!

But you haven't been
here all this time.

No, I had some things to do.
I just happened to drop by this way.

- I'm going to Boulevard Haussmann.
- Fine.

- Are you sure?
- Sure.

Thank you.

There's an art to getting into this thing.

- You all right?
- Oh, nothing. Just my stuff.

- Am I driving too fast?
- Oh, no. I'm used to it.

I have a friend who drives very fast.

He says it keeps him young.

Does he want to stay young?

- Oh, yes.
- Not me.

I take it you were born
into the right sign to do the apartment.

I hope so.

- Do you believe in the stars?
- No, but your mother seems to be ruled by.

It's very convenient, too.
If you're ruled by the stars,

you don't have to feel responsible
for the things you do.

Did you find her vague?

- Yes, in a way.
- She's not a bit vague.

It's an act.

Oh, it seems that acting runs
in your family.

- How's your arm?
- Pretty good.

Listen, make mother pay as you go along.

She's rich and stingy
and she hates to pay bills.

You shouldn't talk like that
about your mother.

- I'm not a child.
- Oh, that's why. How old are you?

- 25.
- How old are you?

40.

- What's so funny?
- The admiring whistle.

I was more admiring than you think.

Thank you.

Will you have lunch with me one day?

Nope.

Just like that. No?

Just like that.

Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude,

but it's difficult for me
to plan lunch the way I work

- and now with your mother's apartment...
- I understand.

- Here to the right, please.
- Okay.

- Well, thank you very much.
- Not at all.

Well, goodbye.

Hello.

Good morning.

- Morning, Alex.
- Good morning.

He's rung for you three times.

- No. What about?
- How should I know?

- Probably the Guillaut brief.
- I gave him that yesterday.

That's probably why.

What is it? What's the matter?
Have you hurt yourself?

No, it's all right.

Oh, no. No, no, no, no.
Let me go. Let me go.

You and your play acting. Really.

Alice? I met someone this morning.

I know.
The most beautiful girl in the world.

No, a woman.

Warm, charming,

gay, and yet sad.

- There was a deep sadness in her eyes.
- From what?

I don't know.

- The husband.
- What husband?

- Isn't she married?
- How would I know?

Don't think you ought to find out?

- What difference would it make?
- Oh, excuse me.

Well, if she is,
it can't be a good marriage.

She's not happy.

- No, she could only be happy with you.
- Right.

Yes.

Good morning, sir.
No, that'll be fine.

Six. Six. Six dozen.
Thank you.

- Sorry.
- I hope you know what time it is.

Yes. Yes.

Oh, dear. I'm sorry about that.

I was delayed at home this morning.

My mother's not well.

I talked to your mother
on the telephone exactly 5 minutes ago

and she seemed to be in perfect health.

Yes. Well, she she is uh
she's much better now.

Thank you for inquiring.

I've read the Guillaut brief.

- Yes.
- I do not think I need tell you

of the high regard
in which I hold your family.

And I'm sure you know how pleased
I was to take you into my office.

Yes.

But you seem to have no ambition.

You show no desire to work.

Why? This is not a brief.
It gives no citations.

It presents no body of law
to support our case.

What did you think you were doing?

- I don't know.
- Don't you care?

- Yes.
- Well, then.

I just don't know what I'm doing.

You're studying French law, I hope.

No, I mean, um, what am I doing?

What have I done to prove I'm alive?

- You understand?
- Are you trying to be funny?

No, I want to know how does one do it.

For instance, I've just realized that

I've never even been in love.

Well, I have. Do that brief.

What's her name?

I don't know.

You look wonderful tonight.

You always say that
when I wear this dress,

I'll have to have it copied.

No, no, it's not the dress.

How did you ever find this place?

I don't know.
Probably came here with business people.

Hello.

You seem to know everybody.

No, it's just one of those nights.
That's all.

What's up?

They seem awfully young, don't they?

Young? I don't think so.
What about him?

No, but he's trying.

I'm afraid I have to go home
early tonight.

Oh, I didn't tell you. I got the job.

Yes. That card you gave me
from Jacques Bunnell.

- Oh, you went there
- This morning.

Her name is Van Der Besh.
She's one of those rich women

who live all over the world

and still give you the feeling that...

- Hello.
- Hello. It is funny. That is her son.

Mr. Van Der Besh. Mr Desmarest.

- I knew I'd find you.
-Oh, you were looking for me?

- Yeah.
- How nice.

I looked for you everywhere.
All the time you were here.

Not quite all the time.
We had dinner at the Berkeley.

I finally began to wonder
if you were real or just a dream.

This place is getting too popular.

Are you married? I hoped you weren't.

- Oh?
- Oh, I'm sorry, sir.

I think I said something
I shouldn't have said.

Hey, would you like some coffee?

No, I hate coffee.
I'll have one of the....

Don't make any difference now.

I'll be right back.

There's a man for you. A real man.

Strong, confident, sure of himself.

I don't think it's that simple.

- Do you love him?
- It's none of your business.

Oh. Oh, I apologize.

It's funny. I've done nothing
all day but apologize.

Claude. Claude.
Three whiskeys, s'il vous plaît.

Hello.

Well, hello.

- Small world, isn't it?
- And full of charming surprises.

I'm afraid I don't quite
remember where I am.

Chéri, I forgot my lighter.

- Oh, darling. You remember Mr...?
- Desmarais.

Oh, yes.

Nice to see you again.

And then I found out
I didn't know your name.

Well, here you are.

Sir, I I want to apologize
if I said anything...

Oh, well, we've all had too much
to drink at one time or another.

- Would you like to dance, darling?
- I'd love to. Excuse me.

Do you mind? Thank you.

We'll be back. Don't worry.

Hey, Philip, we're going to Régine.
You coming?

Come on, Phillip.

Ah, strange boy.

Not strange. Just very young
and a little drunk.

"I have looked for you all over Paris.

"I've begun to wonder
if you're real or just a dream."

Congratultions for that.

Oh, he's just a boy
and I think terribly unsure.

Unsure? A young man who looks for you

all over Paris and takes your hand

and says, "Are you married?"
It's not my idea of unsure.

Well, it's been a long time
since anyone chased all over Paris

looking for me.

And you like it, huh?

- Yeah.
- Yes, of course I do.

Oh, he's gone.

Good. Now I can finish my drink.

Excuse me.

I really must go home.

If I stay up like this,
I'll look 100 tomorrow.

Oh, come on.
I'm just beginning to like it here.

Poor! He is going to break the window.

Darling, please take him.

- Hey, come on.
- I'm all right. No, no, I'm all right.

I'm all right.

Find his key.

- I got my key.
- Where is it?

- I won't tell you.
- Oh, please.

There. There you are.

- My key.
- Can you make it all right?

Certainly.

Good night.

Wait a minute.

Good night.

- Good night.
- Good night.

Roger!!

I'm sorry you had a bad time.

No, it was quite amusing.

Oh, well, good night, darling.

May I come up for a drink?

Wait a minute.

Oh, no. You can't have that.

I'm covering a chair for Margo Glenville.

Maro Glennville can go to... I want this.
I adore it. And I shall have it.

Now that's settled.
I love you passionately.

I have to run. Where's my packet?

There. But it won't go
with your apricot walls.

We'll make them oyster white.

Uh, do you want me tomorrow? Yes.

Yes. I have a pair of lamps coming in
that I want you to look at.

I'll be in around 6:00.

Goodbye, my love.

Hello.

- I came to apologize.
- Oh, you needn't.

And please,
thank your husband for me for...

- How is your head?
- I'll live, I think,

but I'm not sure I want to.

Oh, you do look a bit um...
You ought to get some sleep.

- Well, the thing is I'm hungry.
- Well, then go and eat.

That's why I'm here.

I know you said you were busy,
but would you have lunch with me?

I just want to make up for last night.

- Oh, there's no need.
- But I want to.

What do the stars hold
in store for you today?

- Did your mother tell you?
- Yes.

I must persevere in whatever I'm doing,

no matter how hopeless it may seem.

You're acting again.

Please.

It's a beautiful day.

We could lunch in the country.
I have my car

Or in the Bois.

Then if you get bored,
you can phone for a taxi.

You think of everything.

Oh, another run. I suppose
all your girlfriends wear slacks.

- I haven't any.
- No girlfriends. Why not?

I don't know.

Try to think. When did this general
falling away from you begin?

Oh, I've known lots of girls,
but it just doesn't last.

It's my fault, I guess.
But they're so young.

- What's wrong with that?
- Oh, I don't know. It must be me.

Still, I take this last girl.
Now, she was pretty

and exactly the way older people
imagine the young to be.

How do older people
imagine the young to be?

Oh, you know,
they try to look wickedly decadent.

They they drive their little cars
at top speed, clenching their teeth.

They light cigarettes the moment
they open their eyes in the morning.

And she kept telling me that love was
no more than the touching of two skins.

- And?
- Well, I think love is more than that.

She cried when I left her.

I'm not proud of that.
I hate the breaking up of things,

partings and goodbyes.

Well, then you must never fall in love.

Is that true?

I hope not.

Are you in love with your husband?

I have no husband.

Good.

After the last night,
you should be drinking water.

I feel fine, but I need this for courage.

- Do I intimidate you?
- But I'm afraid you'll get bored.

You probably think I'm one of those
spoiled insipid young men

who gets pushed into polite jobs

that their parents can pay for, and
from then on are busy trying to keep busy.

Is that how you think of yourself?

No, I like my job.

You don't sound very enthusiastic.

Corporation law, there's nothing duller,

not criminal law.

Well, then why don't you do that?

One doesn't practice criminal law
in my family. It isn't done.

Have you ever seen a murder trial?
Ah, it's wonderful.

They're so different
in each country

and always so exciting in its own way.

In America, it's like a football game.

- Why did you lie?
- I didn't. I didn't.

- We know you had the gun in your hand.
- I object.

- Overruled.
- Answer the question.

- I didn't. I didn't.
- You're lying.

- You threatened to kill him.
- I didn't. I didn't.

You stood in the corner
of Howard and Mason.

- I object.
- Sustained.

- Your honor...
- Sustained.

Oh, in France it's different.

The French have a logic
and a sophistry and a true sense of drama.

J'accuse... Sorry.
I accuse in the name of the dead.

I accuse you of avoiding
your duty as a human being.

I accuse you of letting love go by,
of neglecting your duty to be happy,

of living on evasion
and subtrifusion, resignation.

You should be sentenced to death.

You will be sentenced to solitude.

- A horrible sentence.
- The worst.

The worst and the most frightening.
To be alone and without love. Isn't it?

Yes.

You must find me even
more ridiculous than last night.

No.

Or do you think I'm acting again?

I was thinking of myself,

but I was thinking too that
you're far too young to feel that way.

- Alone without love.
- You don't know.

No.

Anyway, it takes two. It's not enough
to love. One must be loved.

- You look sad.
- Oh, no. I'm not.

I should like...
I should like...

I don't really know you,
but I should like to think you are happy.

Here's fine.

Here we are.
Well, thank you for lunch.

- Goodbye.
- Where are you going?

Oh, just to do a few errands.

- Can I come with you?
- No, I really had a good time.

Thank you again.

- Can I just walk with you?
- No. Goodbye.

Hello. I thought I could carry
your packages.

Well, then I can
take you back to your shop.

Oh, please don't be mad at me.
I don't think I could stand that.

Really? You are a child.
You must have been terribly spoiled

- when you were young.
- Oh yes. Mother gave me everything.

Much easier than saying no.

What about your father?

Oh, we ditched him when I was seven.
And from then on, we traveled.

Just mother and I.

Home is where the heart is.

And travel broadens the mind.

Oh, you're so very right.

I have an amazing fund
of useless information

which serves me very well
at dinner parties.

I have thousands of acquaintances
without the burden of friendship.

I've been in and out of 27 schools.

And I can say I love you
in 13 different languages.

Not bad at all.

That's my favorite. It's "I love you"
in Norwegian.

Did you learn that from a Norwegian girl?

Yes. It's the extra syllable
that gives it the emotion.

Well, here I am. Goodbye.

- Wait a minute.
- Yes.

Do you like Brahms?

What?

There's a wonderful concert
at South Playel Sunday afternoon.

Brahms?

Do you like Brahms?

What's the matter?

I haven't been asked that since I was 17.

- And what did you answer?
- Yes.

Of course I was in love
and we went to the concert

and we sat high up in the balcony

and held hands and listened to Brahms.

Well, I'm not quite sure.
Anyway, it was lovely.

- Then you do like it.
- I don't know. It was so long ago.

Well, will you come to the concert
with me and find out?

I am busy this weekend.
I'm sorry.

I try to keep my weekends free.

Is it the man you were with last night?

- Yes.
- Is it permanent?

Yes.

Goodbye. Thank you again.

- Funny.
- What?

Men always smoke afterwards.

Do they? I never thought of that.

Oh, yes, they always do.
Could I have one?

Yeah. You know
such interesting things, Maisy.

I wish you'd tell me
why you call me Maisie.

I have very poor memory for names.

- It makes life easier.
- Do you call all your girls Maisie?

Yes.

Oh, I think that's cute.
Which Maisie am I? Maisie 7?

Maisie 27?
Maisy 127?

- Maisy number one.
- Oh, how galant.

A little more champagne, please.

You know, I'm awfully glad you were
at that cocktail party this afternoon.

So am I. But I don't know
why you picked on me

with all those good-looking boys around.

Oh, those kids. They talk and talk.
They just love to talk.

But you, the moment I saw you,
I knew what you had on your mind.

Don't laugh.
That's very rare these days.

Honest. Ask any girl.

How did you get rid of Cheryl?

Oh, poor André.
He's awfully important in movies,

but if you only knew what a boy he is.

- I never will.
- Don't worry about him.

Roger, let's go away for the weekend.

I'll bet you know some wonderful places
around Paris, shall we?

You're free, aren't you?

I heard somewhere that you were
sort of tied up. Is it true?

No. No. I'm free.

Yes, darling. Yes.

Well, no. I was waiting to hear from you
to see what you want to do this weekend.

What?

Oh, I'm sorry, darling,

but the weekend is the only chance
I can get to work on this deal.

The man is in Brussels,
and I've got to go see him.

- It may mean a sale of 75 tractors.
- Yes, I understand.

Of course, I do.
Oh, I don't know.

I'll go to a movie, I guess.

Yes, I know she has
a bridge game on Saturdays.

Who? No, no, I'm not going to call Jimmy.

Why should he take me out?

Oh, Roger, will you please stop
trying to arrange my weekend?

Oh, no. Really, dear.
If you feel badly about my going,

I'll see what I can do.

Oh, don't be silly.
Of course you have to go.

I'll probably work this afternoon.
One of my clients asked me to.

I said no, but I may as well now.

Yes, we'll both work. All right, darling.
When will you get back?

Well, if you do, I'll be here.

And drive carefully.
Yes, I will. Yeah.

Goodbye.

Hey.

Hello.

Sorry, darling.
I'm late, but you know how it is.

Come here.

12,000 francs? Good grief!

- That's $24 a yard.
- Yes.

Oh, I feel awful today.
How much is that one?

- It's 14,000.
- I'll take that one.

All right.

Well, there's nothing wrong
with it, is there?

No, no, no. I like it.

Oh my. I am pleased
with the way things are going.

You've done wonders in a short time.

Thank you.

Now, I may as well tell you
I'm planning a dinner party on the 19th.

Well, that's a week from Wednesday.

Oh, but I couldn't.

Sorry, but I've already
sent out the invitations.

Well, I'll do my best.

- And of course, you must come.
- Thank you.

Now, if you look at these materials,
Madame Van Der Besh...

Excuse me. I...
Do call me Teresa.

I have picked this for your bedroom
and this for your son's room.

As a matter of fact, I've sent an
invitation to your friend, Roger Desmarais.

That's his name, isn't it?

I hear he's most attractive.

Oh, my dear, Paris is like a small town.

Really. Everyone knows
everyone's business.

Now, would you like some tea?
No, thank you.

But I do wish you'd look
at these materials.

Oh, Paula,
I couldn't look at another thing today.

I trust you implicitly.
Only just don't spend too much money.

Madame.

- Will you bring us some tea, please?
- Oui. madame.

I thought this for your son.

I couldn't possibly tell you
what Philip would like.

Not possibly.

He's not that difficult.

He's impossible. He's practically
a manic depressive.

Loves the world, hates the world.

Just like his father.
He drinks, you know.

Oh, his father drank, too.

But charming.
Oh, there you are, darling.

We were just talking about you.

- I'm in luck. Hello.
- Hello. I'm sorry. I have to go.

But you haven't had your tea.

Thank you, but I have things to do,

and thank you for giving me the time.

- I'll call you on Friday.
- Goodbye, my dear.

- Don't forget the 19th.
- No, I won't.

Goodbye.

I'll see you out.

- What is it?
- Nothing.

Anything wrong?

No. Can I come down with you?

- I didn't expect to see you today.
- No.

- What happened to your weekend?
- Roger was called away on business.

I see.

- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.

The switch is behind you.

Let me go.

Let me go. You're annoying me.

Phillip, please let me go.

- Gabby.
- I'm coming.

Good morning, madame.

I love you every day of the week,
but on Sunday mornings, I adore you.

I could bring you breakfast every morning.

Too sinful, Gabby. Too sinful.

Oh, is there no more black cherry jam?

What a shame.

I'll get some tomorrow.

- There's a message for you.
- Where is it?

It was on the telephone. Very early.

- He said he didn't want to disturb you.
- Monsieur?

No, another monsieur.

He wouldn't give his name, but he made
me say the message over and over.

Oh, and what is the message?

I'm sorry about yesterday.
Do you like Brahms?

You understand it?

- Yes. Yes, I understand it.
- But what are Brahms?

Look over there.
The second album from the top.

Yes, that's it. Put it on. Fine.

Now the first switch.

Those are Brahms music.

You'd better get dressed.

Do I have to?
What time is it?

About 5:30.

Why don't we stay over tonight
and go in tomorrow?

- Nope.
- Why not?

- I have to be in Paris tonight.
- Why?

- None of your business.
- I'm not going.

- What?
- I'm not going,

Maisy.

- Maisy.
- No.

- Come on, Misy.
- I want to stay here.

- Stop. Maisy, will you?
- No.

- Please, M...
- I want to stay here.

Stop.

- Hello.
- Hello.

I'm glad you decided
that you like Brahms.

Do I? Well, I don't really know.

It doesn't matter so long as you're here.

I can look, can't I?

Sorry.

Makes no difference.
I especially said extra dry.

- What's the matter?
- Oh, nothing.

Oh, there's the bell. Don't you think
we should be getting back?

Intermission is almost over.

Will you have dinner
with me after the concert?

I can't. I have to get home.

I thought you said he'd gone away
for the weekend on business.

I expect Roger back tonight.

What if he doesn't show up?

Well, then I'll have dinner alone.

He must be quite a man
to deserve such devotion.

Such blind self-sacrifice.

- I love him.
- What about him?

- What about him?
- Does he love you?

Yes, of course. All is for the best
in his best of all worlds.

Don't play the cynic.
It doesn't suit you.

At your age,
you ought to believe in such things.

Stop making fun of me. Stop talking down
to me as if I were 5 years old.

Sorry.

I'm not making fun of you,
but of the parts you keep playing.

- If you would just be yourself.
- It's true.

Since I've known you, I've played
the brilliant young lawyer,

the bashful lover, the spoiled child,

God knows what else.

But it's all been for you, only for you.

Don't you think that's love?

We'd better hurry.

I am sorry we are late.

How long has...
How long have you and Roger...?

5 years.

- And you've been happy.
- Yes, I have.

- Always?
- There's no always.

I've had 5 years of happiness
and doubt and warmth and pain...

But only the happiness matters.

You're not happy now.

- Yes, I am.
- No, I know you're not.

I told you I love him.

And I love my mother
and my old nurse and my...

- I don't see what that's got to do.
- No, you say you love him, but you're alone.

You spend your Sundays alone.
You're dying alone.

- How often do you sleep alone?
- You have no right.

I have the right.

I have the right to fall in love with you
and nothing can stop me,

and I shall take you away
from him if I can.

I will.

I will.

What's that?

- Brahms.
- How do you know?

- Well, the announcer said so.
- Do you like it?

Oh, Sunday afternoon
so awful on the radio.

Put it back where it was.

Oh, well, there's nothing else.

Funny. When I was eight,
I wanted to be a conductor.

I wanted to be a movie star,
and I'm going to be.

I've got to have dinner with Charelle
tomorrow night,

but I'll call you
as soon as I can get away.

- All right?
- Yeah. Yeah.

It's not nice of you to leave me tonight.

I'm going to miss you.

- Maisy, I can't drive.
- Don't be silly.

You're a wonderful driver.

As a matter of fact,
you do everything well.

Hello.

Hey.

- What's the matter?
- Nothing. I'm just so glad to see you.

- How was your trip?
- Fine.

- Did you just come in?
- Yes.

Where have you been?

- I've been to a concert at Salle Pleyel.
- Oh, do you like Brahms?

Why did you ask that?

I heard it on the radio driving back.

Oh, how did you happen to go?

- I... Young Van Der Besh asked me.
- Oh.

And I had nothing to do and I couldn't
remember whether I liked Brahms or not.

A young boy asked me
a silly trite question

and I didn't have an answer.
I'd forgotten.

I can't keep my mind on anything lately
except the man I love is never around.

Well, what is it?

I told you someone asked me a question.

But I have no answers anymore.

And all the questions seem
so important suddenly.

Do I like Brahms?
What is my favorite color?

Do I like roses? Do I love you?

What's happened?
What's that boy been saying to you?

What difference does it make
as long as I love you?

And you know the answer
to that one, don't you?

- What have you been doing?
- Listening to Brahms.

Oh, stop talking about Brams.

I can't leave him out.

- Well, what's this about? Is it me?
- Yes, you and me.

- You know that I love you.
- No, I don't.

I don't know anything anymore.

Oh, Roger, has time
caught up with me already?

Already?

Paula, what do you want me to tell you?

That you're the most important thing
in the world to me?

Well, that someone was always there.

The one that you can be sure of,
to love, and to trust when you want to.

Sometimes I wish I was one
of the sluts you pick up in bars,

not to be trusted or esteemed or admired.
Just to be loved.

You know they mean nothing to me.

Yes I know.

It's how I am.
I've never tried to hide it.

- Oh, you've been honest.
- You don't really care.

You've said so.

That's right.

- Well, then as long as we're honest...
- We can be self-indulgent.

Well, then what's wrong?

I wish you and I were
falling in love again.

That's all.

We were so sure of the future then.

I'm sure of it now. Nothing has changed.

Well, we can go on just as we are?

- Of course.
- For ever?

Sure, why not? I love you.

You've had a bad weekend, Paula.

I should not have left you.
I'm sorry I had to.

It's all right.

- Where should we dine?
- Where would you like?

Oh, I don't care. I'll just change
into another dress and fix my face.

It won't take a minute.
Oh, look. Your mask fell down.

No harm done.

Tell me, what about L'Escargot?

- Do you think we can get in?
- I think so.

Don't you want a drink?

- Would you like one?
- No, thank you.

Well, tell me, how was Brussels?
Was your trip successful?

Yes, fine.

You don't sound very enthusiastic.

- What about Chez Allard?
- I don't think they're open on Sundays.

No, no. L'Escargot go will be fine.

- Roger.
- Yes.

I'm glad you came home tonight.

- So am I.
- Was the traffic awful?

It's always bad on Sunday, but the parkway
is quick, even when it's crowded.

Parkway, but there's
no parkway from Brussels.

No, of course not.

Did I say parkway?

They fit their road so well,
it seems like a parkway now.

I made wonderful time.

- Well, that's good.
- What about some place with music?

Might be nice.

I don't know which ones are open.
We can drive around and see.

All right.

- Is that the door?
- Yes. Yes, I'll go.

- Hello, Gabby.
- What's wrong with you?

Who is this?

Gabby.

- A letter for you.
- All right.

How's your English, Gabby?
I haven't seen you for a long time.

I've been here.

- Who is it from?
- I don't know. It came by hand.

- Here.
- Thank you.

Do you mind reading it to me, darling?

- It may be personal.
- I don't think so.

It is. It's from young Van der Besh.

It doesn't matter.

We have no secrets
from each other, have we?

I ask you to forgive me. I was jealous.

And you can only be jealous
of things that you own.

Well, now you'll be rid of me for a while.

I'm leaving for London tomorrow to work
on a case and it's very important.

But I don't really care because
all of the time I'll be thinking of you.

Please, please remember, even if you never
want to see me again, that I love you.

Your Phillip.

- I'm ready.
- You haven't said where you want to go.

Oh, I think some place with music
would be nice, don't you?

It is true, Milord,

as my learned friend suggested,
that the facts do seem simple.

On a certain day,

at a certain time, in a certain place,

two ships collided.
One English, one French.

- The papers you asked for in Paris.
- Good. How's it going?

- Fine.
- Here's a letter for you too.

I wonder how my learned friend
will explain away

in simple terms the testimony
of witness Sharp, who stated that,

at no time during the 10 minutes

preceding the collision,
did I hear a signal from the English ship.

Complication upon complication.
There is too the question of the fog.

Witness Glennville states that the fog

was lifting, but witness Olivier states

emphatically that the fog was thickening.

There is too the testimony
of the quartermaster Bellnap,

who was forced to admit that
he had left the bridge a few moments

earlier to get more sugar for his coffee.

Let me recall to your memory, Milord,
the statement of Seaman Jeandran,

- What?
- I'm sorry.

...radar screen at a distance
of three miles.

London airport, please.
Butt first up at Doorchester.

It's beautifully done.
Don't you think so, Lucien?

Yes, my dear.

Well, thank you, Myrtle.
Is she expensive?

Not with me, my dear. Not with me.

- And who is he?
- Who?

- He.
- He's in the truck business or something.

- I think that's what she told me.
- I must say he looks it.

Is he?

He seems rather attractive.

You think so?

Yes, as a matter of fact, he is rather.

Please, Roger, don't be bored.

Bored? How could I possibly be bored
with such a charming gay crowd?

At least try to be nice to
Madame Van der Besh.

You haven't even talked to her.

Yes, I have. I said "Good evening."
And "It was nice of you to ask me."

Please, here she comes.

Paula, dear, everyone
adores the apartment.

I've never heard people rave so.

I'm glad.

- He should be very proud of you, Paula.
- Oh, I am, madame.

And you have something
to do with trucks, haven't you?

Oh, how interesting.

You buy trucks in America,
then sell them in Europe.

And sometimes we buy them in Europe
and sell them in America.

We are very flexible.

Fascinating. Isn't it sad
Philillip isn't here to see you?

You do look so lovely.
Philip's my son.

He'll be furious when he hears
he's missed you,

but he had to go to London
on something terribly legal.

Did he tell you?
Philip's mad about Paula, you know?

- It's really quite touching.
- Yes, I know.

All right, Suzanne. Maraine

Claw. Dinner. Dinner. Everybody.

Raymond, you're sitting next to Madame

Flor. Alier, you're sitting with Madame

Tessier. Pauladier. Talk to him about

modern paintings. He has a fabulous

collection. And you're next to me, Mr.

Dele. Whoa. And you're going to tell me

all about your trucks and what you do

with them. You're a Leo, aren't you? I

beg you pardon. Well, you must have been

born in late July or early August. No,

early me. Oh, Taurus the ball. Well, I

suppose I should have guessed.

See, this is always the most difficult

part, trying to get people to find the

right places. I can never read my own

writing. France, you're here. Mariline

over there. Claude, you're next. Oh,

here. Oh, yes. Yes. And Buladier, you're

here. Oh, no. No. I'm sorry, darling.

You're on the other side over there.

Alan, you're on her right. Raymond on

her left. That's right. Lucen, you're

next to France on her right there.

Murder, you're here.

I'm sorry, but I must be frank with you.

I think it's all nonsensical. They call

themselves abstract expressionists, but

what do they express? That's what I want

to know.

Yes. Yes. Isn't it?

We We were just talking about Jean Prey.

Of course, you know about his latest

affair. I'm afraid I don't even know who

the gentleman is. You don't know Jean?

No. I'm sorry. No. And I can't think why

his latest affair should interest me.

Unless Unless Unless the lady's my wife.

And happily, I'm not married. Oh, that's

rather a narrow point of view, don't you

think? If everyone were like you, what

would it be all about?

Phillip.

Good

evening. Hope I'm not disturbing you.

Well, Philip, we didn't expect you until

Saturday. Well, I uh I thought I'd

surprise you. Philip, what's happened?

Was the case settled? No, but it's it's

going very well. It's going very well

indeed. Well, darling, have you had your

dinner? Oh, yes. I had something on the

plane. I'll just sit here and keep you

company.

No, no, no, no. Marcel, Mr. Phillips had

dinner. Hello.

Hello. I must say to Razor Phillip is

looking well. Hard work agrees with him.

Yes. I don't think hard work I got your

note. Just caught up with me. I came

straight back. Would you like some

fruit? Oh, no. No, thank you.

I never thought I could hate London so

much.

Well, you're in luck. Mother would like

to talk to you. And you would like to

talk to Paula. That's right. Wait a

minute. There's something I want to ask

you. What? I

uh I wonder if I could have a cigar.

Of course.

What did you say to Philillip? I asked

him for a cigar. Why? He looked angry.

He wasn't.

Should I have been? Well, I don't know.

Here we are. Oh, thank you.

Do you like cigars? No. No,

unfortunately. Can I get you something

to drink? No, no, thank you. I think we

should be going home. I have to get up

early. Oh, well, if Paula isn't tired, I

can drive her home later. I suppose you

could. Would you like that, darling?

No, I'm It's getting late. Good night.

Good night.

You certainly brightened up that

party. It was dying until young love

came along.

Now they've got something to talk

about. Have you heard about one of

Vanderbash's interior decorator?

You did over the apartment and seduce

her son at no extra

charge. I think you've got something

there,

Paula. If you're going to do the young

master's bedroom, why not do the young

master? Makes the work so much more

interesting.

You're going away tomorrow? Yes. Where?

I told you. Switzerland, Denmark,

Germany.

How long will you be gone? About 10

days.

Ro, good night.

Phillip. But how did you get here? You

must have driven like a fool. Get in,

please. Why do you do such idiotic

things? Please, just for a moment.

Why did you come back from London? To

see you. Oh, but why? Why? Your letter.

Well, that's really What did I say? Come

back soon. Oh, no.

My sweet Phillip, your letter was too

sad and more than I deserve. I miss you.

Come back soon.

I didn't mean it that way.

I I was tired and unhappy and and

lonely and and oh, I'm sorry. I

shouldn't have written it. But you meant

it.

I suppose so. Then

has anything changed since then?

No, nothing has changed.

Wow.

Here you are. SAS 252. Now you can board

the aircraft. This way, please.

Gentlemen, do you mark Copenhagen going

to meet us? Yeah, I still have a car. Ro

Scandinavian Airlines announc the

departure of flight. You go ahead. I'll

catch up. We haven't got much time.

Don't worry. All passengers are kindly

requested to proceed to customs and

passport.

What are you doing here? I called you at

home, but you' already gone. I wanted to

see you. Come over here.

I'm sorry about last night. I was angry.

I was actually jealous. I wanted to call

you. Will you take me with you? What? I

want to come with you. Can I? Paul, it

makes sense. The plane is leaving in.

Yes, I know. But I'll go home and pack a

bag and I'll join you wherever you are

tonight. Where will you be, darling? I

have two men with me from the home

office in Chicago. How would I explain?

But say I'm your wife. Americans always

travel with their wives. They'll

understand. Paul, this is

crazy. Is it because of that boy?

Because of me? Please. Please. Hey.

Yes. I'm coming. Paula, don't worry.

I'll come back to you soon. 10 days no

more. Get rid of that boy. Paul bothers

you. And don't worry, everything will be

all right. You'll see.

Well, you know, I love you. I'll call

you when I get back. Goodbye, darling.

Attention, please.

Will SAS pass on flight 252. Please

proceed immediately to customs and

passport control. Thank you.

know. I wasn't listening. What's this?

It's personal call for you. A woman's

Hello. Yes, Paul. Yes, of course, we can

talk. Listen, tonight, I thought we

mean? I can't see you again, Philip.

Please try to understand that. Whatever

happens would only hurt you. Don't try

Yes. Yes. Of of course.

before. It's

It's farewell and goodbye again, my

love. So why deny you? Let's go. I've

had it.

Well, come on, will you? We've been

going like this for days.

You said you'd give two years of your

life to be really in love. Yeah, I know

I said it. I'm sorry I said it. That was

way back. Well, I am in love, but she

won't believe me. I believe you. You

told me a thousand times. Now, let's go.

Huh? Phillip, come

on. I'm

going. You'll be all right. Yeah. I'll

check you tomorrow. So long.

Hello. Your pal's gone. Left you, huh?

You talk about love as if you knew all

about love. I

do. You going to buy me a drink?

Sure.

Desc.

Tell you what about love? Oh, it's kind

of hard to explain unless it's nothing.

It's just a word in a song. It's in a

million songs. You've said it just

right. It's the most used word in the

world and it doesn't mean a thing. Just

a word in a

song.

Well, here's to little old love.

Here's a little old

love. Going to sing me another.

Well,

love is just a word.

It doesn't mean a

thing. It's a fancy way of

saying two people want to

swing. Love is just a

word. And when the fun

begins, a word we use to cover a

multitude of sins.

Love is just a

word that's

dropped all over town.

How long have you been here? I don't

know.

You must be wet through. I had to see

you. I tried not to, but it's all right.

Since you sent me away, I don't know

where I've been or what I've done. How

about you? Oh, me? I

worked. I went to collection. Bought a

new

dress. They're tearing up the street in

front of my house. Oh, I know. I almost

got stuck in my car.

It'll be fixed in a few days.

Paul, are you sure you don't want Think

some good looking cold chicken in the

ice

box. Boy, am I

hungry? Where's the

butter? Have you got any wine left? Oh,

here. Wait. Oh, right. I found a bottle

of

beer. Someone cucumber salad left

over. I can't find any. Oh, wait. Here

it is. Here it is. Darling, the record.

Can you turn it over? Never mind. I'll

get

it. Well, here we are. How does it look?

Pretty good, huh? I don't know why I

feel as if I haven't eaten in days.

Hello, my love.

Oh, Gabby, wait. I forgot I put the

chain on last night. Morning. It's all

right. I'll take it. Would you like me

to get Paula? Can you help?

Good morning. Can you help me with this

thing?

Gabby, this is Phil. Um, Mr. Vanderb,

don't worry about breakfast. I'll do

that. Well, thank you, Gabby.

Gabby, I'll call you if I need you.

She was embarrassed. Not embarrassed.

Surprised. Gabby is my guardian, my

protector. She's much older and wiser

than I am. My Gabby, look at the time.

I'm going to be late. Oh, don't worry. I

can drive you to the shop. No, I don't

want you to. Could you get the butter?

Well, why shouldn't I take you? Oh,

there's no need.

I can let you off at the corner if you

don't want anybody to see us. Why?

I don't know. I just thought Don't

worry. They'll know soon enough and

they'll have such fun. Have you heard

about Paula and her new young men? Oh,

she must have such vitality, Paula. Such

an appetite for life and young men. Does

it matter?

Not really. All right, then. What time

are you through? About 6.

6? What am I going to do till 6? Well,

how do you know that I'm not busy

tonight?

That's true. No, I don't.

Let me do that.

I'm not busy tonight. Good. Still, what

will I do to sick? I don't know. Work.

Work? Oh, I know what I'll do. I'll

wander around Paris thinking of you. And

then I'll have lunch alone thinking of

you. And well, then I'll wait for 6:00

to come.

Heat. Heat.

Hey, please pass. You go ahead. I'll

catch up with you. Why? Where are you

going? to make a phone call. Sell the

portal to get as a cab. What's his

number? 24. Don't worry, I'll be there.

Hello.

Hello.

I just got in. I'm at the airport. How

are you? Did you have a good trip? I

want to see you. Are you free for dinner

tonight?

No, no, I can't have dinner.

Well, can you manage lunch? Yes. Yes.

Yes. Let's have lunch. Where? Where

would you like? Oh, it doesn't matter. A

place that's not too crowded.

Fine. All right. I'll meet you there. Do

you want me to pick you up? No. No. I'll

meet you there. All right.

I I'm looking forward to seeing you.

Goodbye, Ro.

I'm sorry I'm late. No, it's me. I was

early.

Don't you feel well? Why? You don't

usually drink in the middle of the day.

Oh, that I felt a bit tired. Oh, well

then I I think I'll have a

vermouth. Wait,

it seems a long time since I've seen

you. 10 days?

Seems longer.

I called you a couple of time from

Germany, but I couldn't get you.

I've been out quite a bit. Or maybe I

turn off my phone.

You never used to.

Thank you. Have you seen Jimmy?

No.

What have you done?

I've been seeing Phillip quite a lot.

Oh, the

young still mad about you.

And you do you still find him amusing?

Yes.

amusing. No more than that.

More. Well, there's nothing to say to

that, is there?

There's so much you could have

said, Horushi. If I were to tell you

that everything still depends on you,

you wouldn't know how to say it, would

you? I don't know. But I do.

You would say that you were too too

obsessed with your freedom, too

frightened of losing it. I said I don't

know. All I know is that I test the idea

of you and that

young play. We miss you. I hope it's

worth your time.

It isn't a matter of he loves me.

It never occurred to me when I asked her

to lunch that I would have to listen to

the story of your love life with that

boy.

Since you've always made sure I knew all

about yours with your girls. At least

that's

normal. I

mean, goodbye.

Hey, my name is

Martini. Paula,

I'm sorry. That was stupid of me. You

know I didn't mean it. Oh, it it was

just as much my fault. Perhaps we

shouldn't see each other for a

while. Goodbye, darling. Paula, you know

that

I You mean so much to me,

Paula. You do.

Wild.

Thank you.

17 in the ship. The last four first

three all by five. Love, what's our room

number? What? Our room number? I don't

know what you've got the key.

425. All the rest on 4 and 25.

It's too much.

Ro, hello. Jimmy, what are you doing in

Oil? I just decided to get away, you

know. Is Paula here? Where are you

staying? No, Paula's not here. Oh, I

haven't seen Paula in 2 months. Oh, I'm

sorry. I didn't know. Well, that's

stupid. Well, I

mean, see you later, OJ.

close the window, love.

Love, please close the window. It's

cold. Stop calling me love.

What time is this?

Gosh, do you realize it's it's only

5:00? What are you doing up, love? Hey,

you haven't been to bed yet. Stop

calling me love. Why? You call me Maisy.

Just stop using that word. What's the

matter with you? Love. Love. Love. Do

you know what it means?

Well, do

you? What does it mean, love? Did we

come here to discuss my vocabulary? Just

stop calling me love. It's all right at

night, but not in the morning. We're

getting particular now. Will you kindly

close the

window? Here's

your change. Thank you. Thank you, sir.

Speaking. Yes, madam.

Mr. De Mar. I haven't seen him, madam.

Thank you. Thank you, sir. But how about

your luggage, sir? Madam will bring it.

Very good, sir. I hope

Phillip.

Phillip.

Phillip.

Hello. I want to talk to you. Uhoh.

Well, Philillip, this can't go on. You

have to work. When was the last time you

went to the office? T Tuesday. Tuesday.

And when

before you've reached a point where you

do nothing at all. You see me off in the

morning and then you wait for me to come

home at night. And now you're taking to

sneaking drinks.

Oh, no, that's not so. I I just I just

rinsed out that glass because I know you

hate untidiness. Yes. I hate untidiness

and I hate lies and I hate weakness and

pretty soon pretty soon I hate you.

That was bound to come, wasn't it?

Oh, Phillip, I didn't mean it that way.

But I can't have you become a stupid

sudden lump because of me. I've told you

to go to work a hundred times and this

is the last. That's all. And if I don't

what? Well, I won't be able to see you

anymore.

You could send me away just like that?

Yes. Oh,

Philly. Stop it. You're acting.

Look at me. Look at

me now. What is

it? It's just that you don't love me and

there's nothing I can do about it. I

knew from the beginning that you would

send me away someday, but all all the

time I kept hoping that it that it never

would happen.

And all the whiskey I've drunk, all the

whiskey in the world, couldn't make any

difference because now it has

happened. And that's it. Oh no,

Phillip. You're such a fool. Such a

child. Oh, such a

fool. You've played at being the

abandoned lover, and you've done it so

well. You believe it yourself. I do care

about you. You know that,

Philillip. Look at me now. Look at me.

You don't want me to go?

No, not today. But I want you to work.

I will. I promise I will.

I was so afraid.

Were you such a fool?

What is it? I just wanted to see if you

were in. Sorry.

Hello. Who's calling please? Oh yes. Uh

one moment please.

Madame Tessier.

Yes.

Dear Hello Roa.

How are you? I'm all right. And you?

Yes, I'm fine.

Well, I'm taking a holiday next week.

This is a time of year, you know.

Remember, we always went away for a week

or so. So, I thought I'd call you and as

long as I'm getting my ticket, I thought

if you want me to get a ticket for you,

I don't think it's possible. RJ, you

don't?

It's just not that easy.

Well, how how could we go away and

pretend that

not we couldn't help thinking? Oh,

that's why I'm going not to think to

think of nothing. But there's not a very

good reason for going. The best.

It isn't that easy. And I'm sure you

don't need me for that. For that? I'm

sure you'll be all right.

by yourself or with some of

your someone else. What? Well, nothing.

Nothing. They never meant anything to

me. You know that. As long as you had me

to come back to then you won't come. No,

no, no. Ro, goodbye. Hold on.

Take care of yourself, will you?

Yes, sir. I will.

Oh, wait. Come on. Come on. Come on.

Don't rush me there. See?

Not bad. Excuse me, sir. Good, sir. Oh,

at last. Say it's getting cold, isn't

it? Yes, a bit. Oh, wait. Would you mind

going up to room 16? What would you

like, darling? Oh, there's a yellow

cardigan on the bed. Yes, ma'am. All

right, let's go. No, wait a minute. Wait

a little. But no, I did not. Look at

that. I knew I would have won. Didn't

you cheat pushing him with your foot a

little? No, I did not. Oh, you ought to

be ashamed of yourself.

Oh, it's wonderful getting you away from

Paris. You're a different person. You

shed your skin. Thank you. Why don't we

stay over another night and go back in

the morning? Yes. Why don't we live?

Oh, good evening. Good. Good evening.

You uh you uh know Madame Tessier, don't

you?

Madame Flurry, Mercio Flurry, and this

is Meline and this is Pierre. Good

evening. H Did uh you uh drive out from

Paris for dinner? It's a wonderful

place, isn't it? How was the traffic? We

we got stuck in Slooh yesterday. And

oh, here we are. Is there a one out?

Yes. Thank you. Do sit down, children.

Your food is getting cold. Lucian,

your key, sir.

Well, nice to have seen you. Goodbye.

Goodbye. Goodbye. Should we have another

drink? It'll warm us up. How old is she?

Oh, please. Lucy and Deal. You better

start asking for the bill. It takes an

eternity here.

This way, madam. Your table is ready.

You go ahead. I'll be right there.

to dry.

Children's here. I see.

Where's madame? I don't know. She went

out, but your dinner is ready, sir.

I'd like to go back to Paris. All right,

Paula. What do you care what people like

that think? I don't. But what difference

does it make? It doesn't. Well, then.

Well, let's not talk about it. No, we

will talk about it and you'll listen.

Oh, please don't. This is This is

unworthy of you and humiliating for me.

You're making too much of it. No, you're

making too much of it. I'm not a fool,

you know. I'm not a child you have to

hide things from. If you'd agree, I'd

marry you tomorrow. Oh, don't be silly.

I'm so much older. That's not the

problem. Age has nothing to do with it.

I love you. I need you. And nothing that

people say can make any

difference. The only problem for you,

for us, is

Roger. He's still there, isn't he? Deep

inside you, and you can't drive him out.

What is it they used to do when someone

had a demon inside? Say prayers, burn

incense, ring bells, make noise. If I

did all that, would it drive Roger out

of you?

I'm sorry. Somehow it never occurred to

me that you It just never occurred to

you that I could think that.

Do you think we should keep going? It's

up to you. The price is still low. Who

is that revolting man who keeps bidding

against us? It's another dealer. He'll

stop soon. I know him. Well, it better

be soon because

there we have them. Well, and a very

good prize.

Oh, they are a bargain, aren't they? I

think they'll go very well in the

library. Come to think of it, I may put

them in Philip's room. Uh, by the way,

uh, how is he? Why don't you see him?

Oh, he comes home from time to time to

pick up his laundry.

Oh, I didn't know. My dear, it's

perfectly normal. As a matter of fact, I

always hoped Philip would fall in love

with an older woman. Do you want me to

pay you a commission on those chairs?

Well, after all, you took the time, and

your time is worth something. Uh, isn't

it? Oh, please. Well, if you insist.

Now, do you mind if I ask you something

about Phillip? Yes, I do. Your car's

here, madam. Oh, uh, thank you. Can I

give you a lift, Paula? I'm going to do

yours. Thank you. No, I'd rather walk.

Are you sure? Yes. Thank you. Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Still, you have learned a certain amount

of French law since you've been here.

But New York is where you will work. It

is where you will live. I've had a long

talk with your mother, and we agree that

under the circumstances, your career

will profit from your immediate return

to New York. That's very nice of you,

but I'm not going.

I'm afraid you have no choice. Oh, yes,

I have. Well, you'll have to talk to

your mother about that. Ellis,

Mr. Flurry, were they to discover that

you have a mistress, and I'm sure you

have, where would they send you?

Goodbye, sir.

Goodbye. Goodbye.

Goodbye. All

this way, please. That table over there.

No, no, no. Not that one. Not tonight.

I'm afraid everything is reserved. Well,

how about this one? Oh, I'm sorry. No

butts. No butts. Uh, what's your name?

Fras. You don't know me, but this is a

night we're both going to remember.

We'll take this one. Madame,

you asked for me, Mrs. Yes. Yes. We'd

like some flowers. No, no, I'd like you

to find the most beautiful bouquet you

can

from. here.

You're completely mad. Absolutely. What

is this all about? We're celebrating

what? My independence. My independence

of the world. My dependence on you.

Prosa. Yes. We would like to start with

something just great. Followed by the

most marvelous dinner ever served in the

history of Maxine. Would you like to

start with some fresh? Yeah. No. No.

Caviar.

Caviar. Caviar with benise. Yes. and

vodka to go with it. Madam, will you

dance? May I have the pleasure of this

dance?

Vodka, the best and lots of it.

No, no, no. Champagne, a magnet.

Will you please tell me what this is all

about?

I've quit my job. Or rather, I've traded

it in for Paris. You've quit your job?

Yep. Why? They were going to send me

away to New York. Oh, but spill it. No,

but not from you. Let's have a packed.

All right. No, Phillip, you can't do

this. I won't let you do it.

It's done.

I saw her at Balenciaga

Bis. I saw her at Balenciaga in a dress

from Belma and the next day at

Lingi. Isn't it funny?

Today she was having lunch with Kilar

Rosh wearing a Chanel and now here she

is holding you. I almost wore that belt.

You like it?

H what are you thinking? How stupid the

world is. What? Nothing. Come on. Let's

dance.

I have a confession to make. I almost

did something terrible. What? Well, it's

a beautiful place between your neck and

your shoulder which I almost bit.

May I? I'll fill it. Well, you think

about it and let me know.

You are very far away tonight, Sherry.

Oh, am I? Shall we go to the elephant?

Why? I may be

here.

Heat.

Heat.

Here we go back. I think our food is

he's there. Okay.

Phoenix.

Shall we go somewhere else?

If you like to.

Doesn't really matter.

Well,

where do we go from here?

I don't know.

Good night, Philip. Paul,

can

I see you tomorrow?

Yes, of course.

Yes. May I help you? Oh, Mr. Mar, I

haven't seen you for some time. Yes. Is

Paula here? Oh, yes. She's uh she was

here a minute ago. Madame Tier. Madame

Tessier.

Yes, Mr. Stana. Oh, hello. Hello,

Paul. Well, I

am. Could we go somewhere? Yes, of

course.

Well, I've been making up speeches, but

now I

can help

me. Last night, I wanted to walk across

the room and

say, "This is enough. Let's go home."

And then later I walked and walked

and it can't go on like

this.

I I can live without you. There. Now

I've said it.

Why was it such a terrible thing to say?

It was all my fault.

I shouldn't have let you get involved. I

should have stopped you right at the

beginning. Oh, my darling, you're not

very bright. I'm not. But it doesn't

matter. I'm

home. for whatever it

is there

sugar. Oh, Phillip. Phillip tried to

understand. We met at the time when you

needed me and I needed you and we were

very

lucky. But it isn't enough to keep two

people together. It couldn't

last. I kept hoping selfishly that it

would, but it couldn't.

And all he had to do was say,

"Please." Well, I don't know. I suppose

I ought to feel proud in a

way. I mean, if it wasn't for me, you

probably wouldn't be getting married,

you know. No, I'm kind of a a Cupid.

Yes, that's what I am. A cupid. Look,

Phillip, you shouldn't It's true, isn't

it? I was sort of a an

interlude. Damn

it. Damn him. Damn you. Damn us

all. Why couldn't you love me? You said

it yourself, Phillip. The demon inside

of me. I can't drive him out.

Phillip. Phillip, I

I'll never forget.

Sure.

Me

neither. Well, Paula, what am I going to

do? What's going to happen to me?

Oh, Phillip, darling,

you'll be going back to New York. You

have friends there, and your life is

there. Sure. No, you're right. You're

right. I'll I'll meet the right girl,

get married, live happily ever

after. Um, where's where's my

slippers? Where's the other one?

Thank

you. Well,

uh, am am

I ever going to see you again? You can

if you want

to. I don't think we should.

No. No, we

shouldn't. What the hell am I doing?

Will you leave all this stuff with your

concier, please? Yes, I'll get it all

together. Phillip.

Phillip. Oh, Phillip try to

understand. I am old. I am old. I am

old. I'm old.

Please, Ore.

Well, well, that wasn't so bad, was it?

You talk as if you just been to your

dentist.

Gabby. Gabby. Yes, madame. Oh, I thought

I'd never get here. Isn't Miss your home

yet? No, madame. Oh, would you please

throw him your bath? And uh what shall I

wear tonight? Let's see.

Oh, the black chiffon. No, it's too

dressy. We're just going to a small

beastro for dinner.

This one? No, no, that one is What is

that next to it? That? Yes, that's fine.

What a day. The trouble with being an

interior decorator is that everyone

thinks he knows your job. But nobody

ever thinks of telling a plumber how to

fix a sink. But oh, Gabby, my zipper.

No, no, no. It's all right. Never

mind. But you just start making a

curtain and everybody will Gabby. Did

Miss call? No, madam.

Not too hot, Gabby. I think we need in

tomorrow night, Gabby. Let's get a good

steak for Miss No, we had that on

Monday. Well, let's get some lamb chops

and tell Madame Fu to make me one of her

beautiful Oh, I'll

take

Hello. Oh, Roier, where are

you? Yes, I suppose if you have

to. Yes, I

understand.

What? Oh, I'll probably have something

to eat and go to bed.

All

right. Goodbye.

Heat.

Heat. Heat.

Heat.

Heat. Heat.
